I’m not 100% on the history of the set Rory Paddy is sending them to me from the States he said they are in a bad way and he wants them fixed up as he is giving them to a young fella as a gift (good friend to have eh?). Should be interesting to see them I was playing a Rowsome set during the week that my friend Finbar Mc Laughlin has and they are class

OFF SUBJECT:
Yeah Rory, I was hoping that Tommy Martin would do more posts and list the changes his Chanter Reed
went through on his 2010 Tour with CELTIC WOMEN.

Sean,
I dont want to off topic here so I’ll try to revive the original post.
But, in 2010 I switched from my Burke chanter to a Jim Wenham chanter but I rushed the staple and the hi(gh)b(ernians) were fine! Well I had 3 or 4 octave drops through the year but will all the reverb and keyboards racket it wasn’t fatal.

I’ll continue on the other side!

HELLO! Off topic boys- Rowsome set for Paddy Keenan not exciting enough for ye’s?

15

I’m reedy.

OK… On Topic !!!
It’s nice to be a Gift-Giver like Paddy !!!
It shows what a BIG HEART he has for others.
I have done the same thing with other kinds of Bagpipes, that came my way.
I regret that I haven’t had any “Marque” of Irish Pipes to give as a Gift.
I do have it in my will that my children will get my collection.
What they do with all of it is up to them to decide.
MEANWHILE:
Thank You Tommy
for continuing your thread “On-The-Udder-Side” as the “Dubhs” are wont to say !
